Locking a New View
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 23 February, 2004 - 15:56
Hi,

I took a quick look through the documentation but couldn't find anything relevant. My apologies if this is clearly addressed somewhere.

jEdit is fantastic, but there is one "feature" which annoys me. Occasionally I like to create multiple views (via the "New View" button) for different files I'm editing at the same time. However, whenever I open a new file it updates the current buffer in *each* view to reflect that new file. I then have to switch back to the correct file I was editing in each view. Is there a way I can tell jEdit NOT to switch the current buffer when opening a new file for a particular instance of a view?

Hopefully what I'm asking is clear. Thanks for any help.

noserver command line option

Well, the closest I've come to what I'm looking for seems to be through the "noserver" command line option.. Just putting it here in case anyone should run into the same question further on.
not really clear what you mean..

So,
First you open multiple instances view via "View/New view".
Then you choose one of these windows, go to "File/Open", open a new file in this window.

However, when I try this the selected window opens the new file, but the previous instances remain as they are..
 
sorry, you're right

Yes, opening through the application (File->Open) works. But I prefer to open files either from the command line or by clicking on them through my filesystem explorer -- in which case all instances of jEdit will switch to the new file.
